Tarrytown Retreat is exactly what you need for your next thrilling trip to the Lone Star State! This dog-friendly retreat is one of two on the property in a side-by-side arrangement sharing one wall. It has its own entrance and fabulous outdoor space/private patio, which is perfect for your dog to freely run around and exercise. Inside, this two-level getaway offers a pristine and well-decorated living area equipped with a set of comfortable sofas strategically placed near each other for even more togetherness, creating the perfect spot to unwind and share fun times with your family or friends.

What's nearby:
The nearby Red Bud Isle is a short one-mile drive away and it's the perfect place to go if you bring a pup along with you. It's a marvelous lakefront off-leash dog park with 13 acres of recreational space, plus hiking, canoeing, and kayaking! One of the most charming places nearby you can visit is the Oyster Landing Marina, which is a short half-a-mile drive away from your home. It's a nice place to come and enjoy the sunset by the hill. Open up your laptop by the water at Mozart's Coffee Roasters (dog-friendly patio), get your margarita on at Hula Hut, or enjoy a meal at Abel's on the Lake watching the boats come in and out of the dock. You'll be four miles away from the bustling heart of Austin and all of its dining options, live music, comedy dancing, and more!

Townhome

Overall location is nice area. Home is older, clean however the walls are paper thin. We could hear every moment in the connecting townhome. The parking is also very constricted, if you have a larger car or full size SUV I wouldn’t suggest trying to park in the covered parking provided. It is down a narrow steep hill behind the home. Overall it was decent.we only slept and showered there.

spacious home in beautiful, quiet neighborhood

This is the perfect retreat for a family or a few couples looking to relax near downtown Austin. We loved the sunroom and living room for hanging out. It's just a few minutes to the wonderful Mozart's Cafe and a few more to Deep Eddy Pool. We brought our small dog with us and he loved our walks near the lake.

Nice, quiet retreat

We came to Austin for the Depeche Mode concert and the Texas/Kansas game. After the crowds and the noise, this house was exactly what we needed - it was quiet and relaxing. The perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city!

Great value, comfortable accommodation

Not fancy/luxurious, but the location, price/value, cleanliness, and spacious rooms make this a 5-star accomodation. Very quiet inside, had to use the baby monitors to hear the babies (which is a good thing!). Had no issue with parking, but drive an SUV; could see how it would be scary in a car.

The house needs updating. The parking was very tight & hard to maneuver around. It was cleaned, but noticed the bedroom downstairs, behind the end table, had a dead roach, a disposable mask & just dirty with debris. The bbq area had dead leaves & debris as well. Overall, our stay was great

Good location, lots of space

We would stay here again, but probably not likely to sleep in the upstairs master bed. It is in serious need of a new mattress and just very uncomfortable and noisy. The space was a nice size, a bit awkward layout with parking in back on lower level and front door on opposite side of the house. Very nice neighborhood and we would stay here again because of that and because we were able to bring our dog.

Good location - convenient

We were in town for graduation. The location was perfect - not far from campus but not in the middle of traffic. The neighborhood is charming. I highly recommend walking around it. The house worked for us. The accommodations were comfortable and spacious. As other reviewers have mentioned, the parking spaces are tight and the house does smell musty. We had no problem with the king bed. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc. We did walk to Mozarts and later Hula Hut. They are .6 miles away.
